    Not only do I get this on shutdown I get a job on startup that runs for a minute thirty that looks for a swap partition that I have deleted.

      Did you delete it or comment it out in /etc/fstab? Adding

      noresume
      

      to your boot arguments should also help. You can try that out in “extended options” during boot and add it to /boot/grub/grub.cfg later. Don’t forget to run

      update-grub
      ``` after editing.

        Yeah I just deleted the swap partition without updating anything. I’ve realized since then I need to update the fstab but I never think about it until the odd time I do a full reboot.

      I’ve had that problem before, I think I had to mess around with my fstab and grub config to fix it.

        Yes. Deleting partitions without editing /etc/fstab is a nice way to render your system unbootable.

            You think means you’re assuming and relying on assumptions for critical options is deadly: Unless you’re adding the “noerror” option to the referring line in /etc/fstab the machine will fail to boot.

      As comments below you will need to check /etc/fstab and then run a mkgrub or mkgrub2 command with options like -o (you will have lookup the full string) and it will rewrite the info that the system is told at boot about drive partitions
